Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court's decision to grant bail under Sections 147, 148, 149, 364, and 302 IPC was not perverse despite the appellant's claims of pressure on the investigating agency. The Court emphasized that the High Court considered various factors, including the timing of the FIR and the accused's alibi, before granting bail. The Court upheld the High Court's order, stating that there was no evidence of the accused attempting to influence the investigation post-bail, thus affirming the principle that bail should not be canceled lightly.
